The Douglas family had always dismissed him as a nobody, a poor man without influence. Yet, as they were on the receiving end of his wrath, they finally started to fear him. “I don’t care who you are. The Douglas family has powerful connections! You don’t know who you’re messing with!” Franklin knew that acting intimidating would be pointless, so he decided to bring up his connections to intimidate Dustin. “Oh? Do tell,” Dustin said mildly. “Hmph! Brandon Jameson, the commissioner overseeing all Southwestern regional affairs, is our patron!” Franklin declared loudly. “You probably don’t even know how powerful he is. Even if you’ve got some sway in the Somerton Arbitration Court, you’re nothing compared to him!” The Douglas family’s confidence surged at the mention of this commissioner. “Dustin, you broke my leg and severed my mother’s finger! This debt will be repaid in blood!” Keller roared from the floor. Dustin suddenly burst into laughter. “Commissioner? Impr

“Good news! The Douglas family has agreed to call off the engagement!” David returned home early in the morning and announced the joyous news to his family. Simone and Monique were clearly delighted. What neither David nor Monique knew was that if Dustin had not intervened, the Douglas family would have continued to drag on the matter. Only Simone seemed thoughtful. She understood that the Douglas family’s sudden concession was undoubtedly linked to Dustin. “Simone, join me for dinner tonight,” Dustin said. “Sure!” she said cheerfully. David and Monique exchanged knowing and mischievous looks. They even made a point of telling them not to hurry home and to take their time enjoying the evening. Dustin booked a picturesque lakeside restaurant for their dinner. Unlike his usual casual attire, he had gone out of his way to wear a tailored suit. Since Simone had work during the day and would not be free until after office hours, Dustin waited at the restauran

He had been worried that her feelings were only gratitude and not love. Suddenly, the lights in the restaurant dimmed and a cascade of colorful lights illuminated the space. In an instant, the entire area transformed. Simone was surrounded by vibrant red roses. She covered her mouth in surprise at the unexpected setup. Dustin rose from his seat, walked over to her, and knelt on one knee. In his hand was a small open box containing a dazzling diamond ring. “Simone, will you marry me?” Dustin asked sincerely. Simone gasped and covered her mouth with both hands. Her eyes were wide in astonishment. She had not expected him to propose right after they had just defined their relationship. Was this not going too fast? “Simone, I don’t want to wait any longer. Will you marry me?” Dustin asked again in a hopeful voice. “I...” Simone hesitated. Dustin went right from confessing his feelings to proposing marriage. These were far too sudden and left her completely u

“My Liege, we’ve cracked the code.” The following morning, Drake met Dustin with exciting news, and those were the first words he uttered. Drake handed over a slip of paper. Dustin eagerly opened it. The note read: the Hanks family in Hattan. “My sister is with the Hanks family in Hattan?” Dustin’s face tightened upon seeing those words. Hattan was vast, and there must be countless Hanks families in the area. The scope of information Wilhelm provided was too extensive. After a moment’s thought, Dustin reasoned that Wilhelm would not leave him to search aimlessly. This Hanks family must be one of the more prominent ones in Hattan. “Start investigating the notable Hanks families in Hattan. Look into which family has an adopted daughter and whether she hails from the western region,” Dustin ordered. “If you don’t find anything among the prominent families, then investigate every single Hanks family in Hattan until you do!” “Understood!” Drake promptly left to ca

Dustin said nothing. Whether the box’s contents held material value or not, the main Langley family would undoubtedly treat it as a prized relic. It was unlikely they would give it up easily. Some unconventional methods might be necessary. After packing up, the family boarded a flight to Hattan at dawn. It was almost noon by the time they landed. “I’ve already contacted the main family. They said they’d send someone to pick us up,” David said. The group waited for quite some time outside the airport with their luggage but saw no sign of anyone. An hour passed, then another. “Where’s the person picking us up? Why aren’t they here yet?” Monique complained impatiently. David tried calling again but the line never connected. “Maybe they’re delayed on their way here,” he said helplessly. Dustin’s expression remained indifferent. Was this their way of making a statement right from the start? “David, why don’t we go to my friend’s place? I have some conne

“What did you say? How could you say a thing like that?” Monique demanded angrily. “Archer, no matter what, I’m still your elder. Can’t you speak more politely?” said David because he could not hold back his frustration. “Polite?” Archer sneered coldly as his face filled with contempt and disdain. “You people who split from the family are nothing but parasites of the Langley family. Every time you come, it’s either for money or something else. Look at what you’ve made of yourselvesF!! in the poor and desolate West! You’ve brought shame to the Langley family! And you are asking me to be polite to you? “Ha! Do you think you deserve that? If it weren’t for the elders of the family and their orders, do you think you’d be qualified enough for me to personally come and pick you up?” Archer stood tall and afforded no respect for David’s family in the slightest. His words were harsh and insulting. “People from the branch family like you only deserve to stay here. You’re not worth

“Apologize!” Dustin tightened his grip again. “F*ck...” Archer cursed. Crack! Dustin frowned and twisted Archer’s hand. It snapped Archer’s wrist completely. The scream that followed was high-pitched and unbearable. Dustin released him, and the latter collapsed to the ground before curling into a ball. “Dustin... you... ahhh!!!” David sighed. He had not expected Dustin to act so decisively and break Archer’s hand without hesitation. Dustin was just standing up for his family. Archer had been infuriating. So, David merely sighed instead of blaming him. “David, respect is earned, not given for free,” Dustin said seriously. “Since the main family looks down on us so much, I don’t think we need to worry too much about their opinion while we’re in Hattan.” David remained silent in thought. Perhaps he was also considering whether the branch family should stop enduring the main family’s repeated humiliation. “You... How dare you... Do you have a death wish?” Archer

“Dustin, which friend of yours are we meeting?” David asked curiously inside the taxi. He had never heard of Dustin’s friends in Hattan before. “Just… a regular friend,” Dustin said awkwardly. The truth was, he had never met this person before and did not even know their name. “But… wouldn’t it be rude to show up unannounced?” David asked in concern. “David, don’t worry. He owes me a favor and is eager to return it,” said Dustin and chuckled. David and Monique relaxed. The area grew more luxurious as the taxi moved forward. They passed through the city center of Hattan and into a vast and luxurious villa district. “Wait… Your friend lives in a villa district in the heart of Hattan?!” David exclaimed in surprise. Hattan was one of the most prosperous cities in all of Lovellia. It was second only to Central Harbor. Property prices here were astronomical and often reached millions. Villas in the central area were even more exclusive. Whoever lived here was no

The person Killian addressed as Mr. Little took a few steps closer to him. He looked condescendingly at Killian. “It’s very simple. It’s because you offended someone you shouldn’t have,” the man said. “W-What does that mean?” Killian was in a daze. Dustin approached him with a smile. “You’re really bold to set me up on my own turf,” Dustin said sarcastically. “Your turf?” Killian looked at him in disbelief. “Everyone at the Antiquities Trading Hall obeys me. And yet, you dare to challenge me?” Dustin asked. Killian was instantly struck dumb. Luna was also taken aback. Her body shook violently. What? How could he call the shots here? Besides, they had never heard that the Antiquities Trading Hall had a secret boss. Killian and Luna were both stricken and nearly lost their reasoning. That was especially true for Killian. He knew that the Antiquities Trading Hall was a very powerful one. Even his father was polite to the people here. The owner was Dustin?! Ho

“How could I have lost? There’s no way I could have lost!” Killian was in complete disbelief. He acted like he was in a daze. He was filled with confusion, and he could not figure it out. He had an inside person giving him clues and knew the correct answer, so how could he have lost? ‘This makes no sense! This isn’t right!’ Killian screamed to himself. His face turned vicious. He could accept that he had lost 20 million dollars, but it was the other bet that was the issue. If he really had to crawl and bark like a dog, he would have no dignity left. He was the son of the Prolereid Group’s chairman. He could not afford to be humiliated like this! “What’s going on? How could we have lost?” Darren and Luna were both in disbelief. Neither of them had expected that this would happen. “Killian, didn’t you say you have connections? What happened?” they asked Killian anxiously. “How am I supposed to know?” Killian yelled grumpily. “This shouldn’t have happened. What went wr

“I pick this one,” Killian said. “I won’t pick the one you did,” said Dustin and chuckled softly. Killian, Darren, and Luna shared a meaningful look. They already knew which item was the authentic one. They were definitely going to win. Dustin would definitely lose! After they both made their choices, the host was about to announce the correct answer. “Hold on,” Killian suddenly said. “I want to up the stakes.” He smiled sinisterly as he stared at Dustin. “Whoever loses has to crawl out of here like a dog.” Everyone glanced at each other. It seemed that Killian had a massive grudge against Dustin. It was no wonder that he had been targeting the latter from the start. The additional bet was a huge insult. It did not matter which of them lost. The loser would lose his dignity and become a laughingstock. “Mr. Fox, this has nothing to do with the rules of the Antiquities Trading Hall. You have the right to choose. It wouldn’t matter if you don’t take this bet,” t

“For this round of the competition, you will be authenticating the most priceless items we have. It is a petrified coral. Its estimated value is 10 million dollars. You will each contribute 5 million dollars. You may bet 10 to 20 million dollars.” As per Killian’s request, the organizers skipped over the round with the Myrena Era pearls and brought out two specimens of petrified coral. The colors of the coral made everyone gasp. “Wow! I’m amazed that the Antiquities Trading Hall would use such a specimen as a competition item instead of auctioning it off. How generous!” “This is worth 10 million dollars. Whoever wins will make a killing!” “This is getting a bit out of hand…” Killian glared daggers at Dustin, and his gaze was vicious. “We’ll bet 20 million dollars. Do you dare to take the bet?” Dustin did not speak for a moment. “This isn’t about whether he dares to take the bet,” Luna said. “Look at how destitute he looks. It’s a miracle that he could fork out a millio

“It’s fine. Trust me, I will win all the money back,” Dustin said reassuringly. Simone’s face froze. Was this not the sort of thing that gamblers said all the time? When had such words ever come true? Simone never expected that Dustin would say such a thing and suddenly felt troubled. “What? Do you still have the guts to keep competing?” Killian and the others asked gleefully. “Let’s continue,” Dustin said. ‘You really overestimate yourself. You don’t even know what’s coming,’ they thought. Dustin was falling right into their trap. They wore disdainful looks and did not think that Dustin was a threat. What did it matter that Dustin had a decent eye for antiques? They were still playing with him like a cat played with its prey. Simone really wanted to stop the competition, but the second round had already begun. This time, two jade sculptures were placed on the table. The jade was magnificent and translucent, and the sculptures were about five inches tall. “T

The competition was the most important part of the Antiquities Trading Hall. Sometimes, it was even more eventful than the auction of the precious antiques. The competition today was definitely very interesting and attracted a lot of attention. The competitors included the son of the chairman of the powerful and rich Boreal Group in Hattan, and Darren Langley, a renowned authenticator, who was helping him. The other was a brilliant newcomer to the scene. This sort of match-up was unusual indeed. As the organizer began the proceedings, Dustin and Killian sat facing each other at a table. Darren and Luna were standing behind Killian and smiling sinisterly. They could already imagine the tantrum Dustin would throw when he lost. Meanwhile, Simone looked worried as she stood behind Dustin. Although she knew that Dustin had a lot of skills, experience and a discerning eye were not the only things needed when it came to these competitions. Besides, even the most impressive peop

The room was filled with whispers and disapproving murmurs. Darren, despite his reputation, was throwing a fit and blaming others for his mistake. It was embarrassing. Dustin had warned him twice, but he did not listen. After finding out the results, he blamed Dustin for it. Darren’s face turned pale. He was embarrassed. “Mr. Langley, let me handle this for you,” Killian said softly behind Darren and stepped forward. “Hey, are you very confident in your judgment?” Killian asked with a cold glare. “I never said that,” Dustin said calmly. “Whether you said it or not, it’s not important. The next event is an antique competition. Are you brave enough to face me?” Killian challenged Dustin with a smug face. “Of course, if you’re too scared, you don’t have to accept.” Everyone in the hall turned to watch. “What’s an antique competition?” Dustin frowned. “An antique competition is a betting game in the antique industry,” someone nearby said. “The organizers offer one real

“Fake?!” Darren’s eyes widened in shock as he stared at the screen. He could not take his eyes off it. When the results were revealed, Darren was not the only one who was stunned. The entire hall went silent. All three of Darren’s antiques were fake. Not even one was real. A moment later, the hall exploded into chaos. Everyone had high expectations for those items. Most of them believed they were real. Darren was a well-known collector in Hattan’s antique industry. He had years of experience, and people trusted his expertise and judgment. But he got all three items wrong. They were all fake. He had been wrong about Dustin’s vase, and his own choices were even worse. Three mistakes in a row. He lost everything! How ironic was that? A respected collector like Darren had a far less discerning eye for antiques than a young man like Dustin. “Fake? How could they all be fake?! Dad, we lost everything!” Luna’s vision blurred, and she nearly fainted. She and Killian had

Dustin paid for it with his card without hesitation. Simone was worried. If the item turned out to be fake, they would lose 250 thousand dollars. Meanwhile, Darren had his three items appraised. Two were fine, and he only had to pay an extra 300 thousand for them. But the antique hand fan was incredibly valuable. A real one would be worth almost 5 million. He had to pay over 800 thousand for it. Darren made up his mind and used all his savings to pay. He trusted his experience and keen observation. “Let me remind you again. All three of those items are fake,” Dustin said. “Shut up! No one asked you!” Darren was feeling unsure, and Dustin’s words made him snap. “I know I’m right. What does someone like you know?” Dustin shrugged and stopped talking. After everyone paid, the results were revealed on a big screen. Images of the items appeared and were marked as either “Genuine” or “Fake.” As the results were revealed, some people were happy, while others were disap
